The Cabinet Committee on Security has approved the proposal for the procurement of 240 aero-engines for the Su-30 MKI aircraft of the Indian Air Force. The approval was granted under the Buy (Indian) category from Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) at a cost of over 26,000 crore rupees, inclusive of all taxes and duties.

The Ministry of Defence said that the delivery of these aero-engines would begin after one year and be completed over a period of eight years. The engines will have an indigenous content of over 54 percent, enhanced due to indigenisation of some key components or aero-engines. These engines will be manufactured at HAL’s Koraput division.
